@MurderSmall@Jimmypisfunny@WhismanSucks German here, if you ever want to know (probably when hell freezes over) how to pronounce words like "Gemütlichkeit", let me know.
I've been thinking a lot about labels and wording lately. Whenever I hear "mental disability" or just "disability" referred to chronic mental disorders, I cringe. Fellow bipolar @gabehoward29, what are your thoughts? This would also make a good podcast episode!
